About Me
Been a fan of Tom Petty since sitting in front of the TV for hours on end at the age of 8 watching the "Don't Come Around Here No More" video over and over again. It mesmerized me. Then my freshmen year at college in 1995 I caught wind that The Heartbreakers were on tour and coming near me. Something inside me told me it was dire that I see them in concert as if it was part of my destiny. After more than 2 hours of rocking out in the pouring rain at Walnut Creek, I was in awe. It was my first transcendent experience. My latest, was seeing Tom and the boys in Philly last July where I had goosebumps the entire show, felt so connected with every other single fan there and broke down in tears a couple of times during the set. Something magical was happening that night and I didn't know why until a fateful day in October 2017.

I'm one of those which music affects profoundly. Tom Petty was one of the few artists who literally helped to shape me into the person I am today. I learned so much from him (his outlook on life, etc) and his music about what it means to be a decent human being. For that I will always be grateful to Tom and the band. My soul will always be connected to him. I miss him dearly.

What is your favorite Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers album?
Wildflowers (technically a solo album, but the rest of the band did lay down tracks on basically most songs)
What is your favorite Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers song?
This is nearly impossible to answer because it seems my favorite Petty song is always changing. If someone were to put a gun to my head and demanded I pick one now, I would have to say it's " Runnin Down A Dream".
